Good Will Between U. S. and
Canada Expressed
Speeches; People of
West Push Project.
By VICTOR B. SMITH.
Quebec, July IS. (Special Tele
gram.) -The American expedition
investigating the St. Lawrence wa
terways projects closed its tour here
today by a sight-seeing visit to his
toric points of this old French-Canadian
city. The busTness part of its
trip ended virtually yesterday with
the inspection of the Montreal har
bor and today was devoted chiefly
to manifestations of mutual good
will between Canadians and those
from south of the international
boundary.
The good will between the two
nations which has been so much in
evidence throughout the tour reach
ed its climax in speeches made just
before the landing of the steamer
Cape Eternity, in which the United
States was represented by Gov.
Henry J. Allen of Kansas and Sen
ator Lenroot of Wisconsin, with
Canada represented by Charles J.
Doherty, minister of justice.
Compliments Delegation.
Doherty made an unusually grace
ful speech of compliment to Amer
ica and its delegation. In this he
reflected Canadian newspaper opin
ion. "Newspapers of Montreal. To
ronto. Quebec and other cities, in
both English and French, have been
warm in their praise of the delega
tion and its spirit.
Among other things in reply,
Senator Lenroot said:
"Whatever we may have thought
of our own progress before this
visit, we are returning with a new
humility. Men of finance, of the
professions and of public affairs are
in this group and I know from their
expressions that every one of them
has a new admiration for Canadian
efficiency in government, its courage
in going ahead and its foresight in
planning for the future."
Governor Allen bespoke the de
termination of the people of the
western states that the St. Lawrence
waterways project succeed.
" ' Project to Be Carried Out.
"We have heard from engineers
that this project can be accom
plished. We have heard from the
financiers that it can be financed.
We recognize that these men of the
eastern states know civil, hydraulic
and financial engineering and know
what they are talking about. Their
task is done. '
."What we need now is political
engineering. And ' we out west
think we know something about
political engineering. We are go
ing to put this thing over. It is
as irresistible as the water flow
ing over Niagara. No petty local I
interest ran stop it. It is going to
be done."
It was definitely stated today that
no government appropriation will
be needed, although the whole
project may cost $250,000,000. En
gineers and financiers aboard the
Cape Eternity, representing the big
gest interests of their kind in ihe
continent, agree that the electric
power developed incidentally will
pay returns on the entire invest
ment. This means, they declare,
that bonds can be sold on the
strength of the project itself, that it
will in fact finance itself.
Waterways Will Be Free.
With the project paid for out of
its electric power earnings, the
waterways will be free and ships
carrying the products of the western
states from Chicago and other lake
ports to Europe or the Atlantic sea
board will pay no tolls whatsoever.
A poll of the New England dele
gation of 75 shows that it stands
in favor of the project by approxi
mately 20 to one. This is particu
larly significant, inasmuch as New
England was lined up against the
improvement a Jew months ago.
indications now are that it will
join hands with the western states
in supporting it, save possibly for
local interests in the ports of New
York, Boston and Portland.
The party disbanded at Quebec
this afternoon. Congressman A. W.
JcfTeris and Nelson B. Updike of
Omaha, Nebraska representatives,
both went to Washington.
Corporal May Serve
Army Deserter's Term
Corporal James Wild, who was
corporal of the guard at Fort Omaha
on the night when Rollie Styles,
soldier, escaped from the fort guard
house by boring through a 12-inch
wall, may have to serve at least a
part of the'escaped soldier's sentence
for allowing him to escape, in ac
cordance with army regulations.
The post adjutant asserted yester
day this regulation was enforced
only in cases of carelessness, how
ever and that charges are not likely
tc be brought against either Wild
or other soldiers on guard duty that
night.
Raiders Find Liquor Supply
On Farm, But Owner Absent
Forty-two bottles and two jugs
of home brew were captured on the
farm of Thedoore Clark, Ninetieth
and Blbndo streets, by Deputy
Sheriffs Johnson, Musgrave, Quack-
enbush and Dworsky who made a
raid on the place yesterday morning.
The liquor was hidden under a
pile of brush in the orchard.
Clark was not at home when the
visitors called. They will call again,
Sheriff Clark said.
Held as "Locator"
Fred Johnson, alias George Wash
ington, negro, is held at. Central po
lice station, alleged by police to be

Railway Agent
Defends Rates
On Live Stock
Present Freight Charges Have
No Relation to Condition
.Of Industry, Commerce
Commission Is Told.
Washington, July 15. Present
freight rates have no relation to the
condition of the live stock indus'
try in the west, Kenneth F. Bur
gess, representing the railroads, de
clared today before the Interstate
Commerce committee in oral argu
ment on the shippers' plea for re
lief in the states where utilities com
missions have intervened.
Previously representatives of the
live stock interests had declared that
the rates were destroying the west
and would result in the railroads
being among the worst sufferers in
the end.
"The railtoads should not be al
lowed to sacrifice the future of the
west on the altar of present rev
enues." S. H. Cowan of the Amer
ican Live Stock association said.
Rate reductions asked by the
shippers amount to $34,000,000 . a
year, which would be but 1.2 per
cent of the total value at the mar
ket of the live stock shipped on west
ern roads, Mr. Burgess declared.
While the value of the live stock
on the farm in 1920, he added, had
suffered a deflation of $819,000,000,
the freight rate increased in that
year on the western roads was only
$7,488,000.
Discussing yesterday's report of
Examiner Disque, which held that
the rates on live stock were low
from a transportation standpoint,
but because of conditions prevail
ing in the industry they are high
from an economic standpoint, Mr.
Burgess said:
"The economic standpoint repre
sents a new test of reasonableness
unknown to the law, without giving
any measure to' tell what would be
reasonable and if you find that these
rates are reasonable from a trans
portation standpoint I challenge your
jurisdiction to reduce them."
Under the law, he satd, rates on
one class of traffic could not be de
creased so as to throw a burden on
other classes of traffic.
Majr General McAndrew . .
Seriously 111 in Hospital
Washington, July 15. Major Gen
eral James W. McAndrew, president
of the general staff college and
formerly chief of staff for General
Pershing in France was in a serious
condition today at the Walter Reed
army hospital here, suffering from
a general breakdown.
The general entered the hospital
nine months ago as a sufferer from
the mental and physical exertions
incident to his service as chief of
staff in France during the war, .

American flags which were draped

suit in district court yesterday
rgainst Mrs. Erastns Young, her
mother-in-law, for $50,000, charging
the defendant "has been trying to
get rid of me ever since the mar
riage." "Toots' says her husband's
mother poisoned his mind against
her with "snobbery and inconceiv
able cruelty." She did not approve
of "Toots" smoking cgarets, accord
ing to the petition.
